"Shuster and Wade place the study of animal mating systems and
alternative mating strategies in a comprehensive theoretical
framework. This framework is both elegantly simple and
comprehensive. Most importantly they demonstrate with real life
examples the utility of their approach and demonstrate that it can
be tested empirically. It will serve as a benchmark for research in
this area for many years to come."--Derek Roff, University of
California, Riverside
"This ambitious and wide-ranging book offers new ways to look at
sexual selection and its many consequences. Shuster and Wade have
done the field a great service by challenging existing theory with
respect to the evolution of mating systems and alternative mating
strategies. Because they also provide the key predictions derived
from their approach, they and others will be able to test their
ideas even more fully in the years ahead. Let the fun begin.
"--John Alcock, Arizona State University
"This important and original book addresses the issues that are
attracting attention from a broad community studying the evolution
of reproductive strategies. Its comprehensiveness and rigor give it
the potential to influence a large field of research, and its
personal perspective gives it the potential to redirect the field.
The authors boldly challenge many current views of mating systems
and alternative mating strategies. If they are correct, this book
will likely become a landmark."--Mart Gross, University of
Toronto
"This is an exceptional and thought provoking contribution to
behavioral ecology. It uses excellent examples, slays some sacred
cows, and is superbly written and often brilliant."--Barry Sinervo,
University of California, Santa Cruz
